Sadie Robertson shares how her faith helped her get through deadly mission trip in Somalia.
In October 2017, the "Dancing with the Stars" contestant went on a trip to Mogadishu, Somalia to help supply food to some 50,000 people. They could not have come at a worst time, as they arrived just hours after a bomb exploded in the city, killing at least 300 people.
In a recent Instagram post, Robertson recalled the feeling of "fear" and "anxiety," as well as the panic attacks she experienced. But she got through with her faith in God. She remembered that one night out of complete terror, grabbed her mom and asked her to read Psalms 91. "My mom began to declare the words of WHO OUR GOD IS and WHAT OUR GOD CAN DO. That He is OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH," she said in the post.Sa Robertson on her unshakeable faith: 'My Father is my refuge'
The 20-year-old inspirational speaker spoke to a huge group of women earlier this week and told them how the words of Ephesians have helped her go through a lot of problems in the past. She extended her speech to her over 3 million Instagram followers through a lengthy post accompanied by a short clip.
Her speech focuses on how women as daughters can get strength on their fathers, both the biological ones and the one above. She boasts how she gets her confidence from Him. "I am a fearless daughter, because my Father is my refuge," she wrote.
She mentioned Ephesians 5:19 in particular, which says, "Speak to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord."
Robertson has always been very vocal about her strong faith, which she often expressed via social media. In a set of photos posted on Instagram on Jan. 1, Robertson expressed how great her 2017 was, describing it as the "best year ever."
She added that this was all thanks to her "deep relationship with God that is unshakable."
